  • Rajas

    Rajas is the force which promotes or upholds the activity of the other aspects of nature (prakriti) such as one or more of the following: action, change, mutation; passion, excitement; birth, creation, generation. If a person or thing tends to be extremely active, excitable, or passionate, that person or thing could be said to have a preponderance of rajas.

  • Ramanasramam

    It is the Ashram of Sri Ramana Maharshi. He did not form or establish any organization. He was an enlightened Being, totally absorbed in the Self, living a simple life on the Holy Arunachala Hill without touching money, wearing a single cloth, without caring for his body. But later on, as people surrounded Him, the Ashram happened, and He lets things happen as ordained, for the benefit of others.
